- In today’s video, we visit Disney Animal Kingdom 2023 for the very first time! We’re finally making our way around Walt Disney World for our first time, and making an animal kingdom vlog 2023 was one of the things we were most excited about! We got to ride Animal Kingdom flight of passage, Expedition Everest, the Kilimanjaro Safari, and more. We also managed to enjoy a ton of animal kingdom food like the animal kingdom night blossom, and Mr. Kamal’s fries. We had an absolute blast at Disney World 2023, and we can’t wait to return to Disney’s Animal Kingdom 2023!

What's one thing we missed at Animal Kingdom that we HAVE to do next time??
Rafikis Animal Watch if you have not here.
Definitely go to Rafiki’s and pet the animals!! But also you HAVE to try Nomad Lounge!! Join the walk up wait list around 2pm and ask to be seated outside!!
@@JustInDisney we haven’t! Thank you for the suggestion!
@Sony Alpha Adventure that sounds like the perfect way to relax after work! We love it.
@@lisalewars9637 we’ve heard so many great things about the nomad lounge! Definitely checking it out on our next trip!
For me Animal Kingdom in the morning is the most beautiful park, it's arguably the most beautiful park period but in the morning it really stands out. I've been there a few times but only once did I do rope drop and there weren't too many people there, or most of them went to Pandora, and just walking around the park in the morning was awesome. It's the rare time where being at Disney is a bit quiet, peaceful, and you can just soak it in. If you haven't yet try staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge and getting a Savanna view. Yes it's expensive but I can't tell you how cool it is to wake up and see animals roaming around in the morning.
Yes, AC in the morning is perfection! We got there at opening, very small crowd & most everyone went to Pandora - we went to Asia, & the chill, with a little morning mist made it feel so perfect! We rode Expedition Everest back to back to back a bunch that morning, then went back & rode it more at night! We thought Pandora was interesting, food was good, but not the best part of the park, & were severely underwhelmed by the rides - but the rest of the park, all the OG stuff is 10/10!
Same! When I went everyone rushed to flight of passage & my Dad & I had basically the entire park to ourselves for at least 45 minutes
That’s so cool! We need to go in the morning sometime and check out. We’d love to stay at the AK lodge sometime, too!!
Truly.. i’ve seen a lot of themeparc channels…. Yours is just something next LEVEL. Beautiful artdirection, perfectly told and done with such a beautiful arty view on these parcs.
Omg thank you!! You have no idea how much that means to us!
I followed you guys to learn about Universal but I’m a Disney girl! My heart is so happy watching you guys experience the Magic of Disney for the first time. 😊
Awh! We’re so glad you enjoyed it! We love hearing that as we’re getting into Disney!!
When Tyler said flight of passage couldn't be half as good as the Dino ride LOL... After riding FoP mind blown!
😂😂
It goes without saying, watching your first experiences unfold at Disney is quite refreshing.
Thank you so much! We really love that you’re enjoying them. One more to go!! Lol
I learned so much watching your Universal videos before our family trip. It's fun watching you learn about and experience for the first time places at Disney where I've been before. Y'all are fun to watch both as experts and as newbies.
You’re so sweet, thank you! We love that you’re enjoying these videos, too!
Dinoland is like the surprise road side attraction you love going to as part of your annual roadtrip.
Haha yes! Absolutely! It was so cute.
Your footage is always so beautiful to watch 😍 Animal Kingdom is my favorite park, so happy you guys loved it!!
Thank you, Lisa!! We loved it, too! We can’t wait to go back.
There is literally nothing that can compare to watching you guys live your first days at the parks. It makes me remember my first trip with my husband and we are laughing crying with each of these videos. Coming off of Dinosaur, we literally had the same reaction the first time and it was like living it all over again. That was the best! Thank you so much for that moment of laughter!!! We just love you guys!
Haha we’re so glad you enjoyed it!! We know the feeling. We love going to Universal with friends for their first time. It’s so much fun!!
That was so fun watching y’all’s reactions to everything! Like kids in a candy store! ❤
Thank you, Darla! You’re so sweet! We’re so happy you’re enjoying our videos!
It was great meeting you all at the Tribute Store today! We were the ones from Cedar Point! Thank you for taking the time to say hi, and hopefully we will see you in our neck of the woods soon!
It was so nice meeting you, too! We’re really hoping to do some traveling this year!! Thank you for watching!
Love the joy of seeing people discover how amazing animal kingdom is. Navi river journey is one of my favourites, its so chilled out and we got lucky once to have delays so the whole ride took 10 minutes - such a chilled out way to start a day. 100% recommend Nomad Lounge on your next visit - luxurious, relaxing, a true hidden oasis with great food and drink. Keep an eye out for chip and Dale in their Dinosaur costumes - the ultimate in cute, and definitely take time to explore the paths around the tree of life. We made a scavenger hunt for each park and the animal kingdom one got us to explore all the nooks and crannies. Such an amazing underrated park.
Chip n dale sound so cute!!!! We’ve heard the normal lunge is really good, too. We’re so glad you enjoyed this one! AK was amazing, and we can’t wait to go back!
@@ThePughTwo looking forward to seeing you explore more!!
I am a Disney person, but I watch your vidoes all the time for Universal. We go to Universal every 2 to 3 years, so I always watch your videos so I am always up to date. Spouse and I are headed to Universal soon for a qucik weekend trip.
That’s so fun! We hope you have a wonderful time on your trip to Universal!!
The smiles never left your faces. Truly, felt how much you enjoyed that. Thank you for taking us along. Keep moving forward -------->
Thank you, Justin! You’re so sweet! We really appreciate you watching!
The first time in any Disney park is memorable. Watching you two do this brings back happy memories. Animal Kingdom is truly special
Thank you, Mike! We’re so glad you enjoyed it! We agree, too. AK is awesome!
Awesome job guys! Your camera work & editing is fantastic! Hopefully next time you can ride Flight of Passage. One of our kids says it is their favorite WDW ride! We are currently staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge this week & working on filming & showing all their resort has to offer.
We definitely did ride flight of passage! That was at the end of the video, we had a lightning lane for the end of the day like we talked about after we rode Navi River Journey. It was awesome, one of the better 3D rides we've ever been on. We hope you have a great time on your trip!
@@ThePughTwo Gotcha, I watched the first half as we are getting ready for dinner here at the Animal Kingdom lodge! We would also say the Lion King Show is a top 10 thing do to at this park!
Loving the jumanji look guys 🐯🦁🦒🐘
Hahaha thank you! We felt it was appropriate for AK!
You guys are so much fun. So great to watch you experience for the first time. You guys are an awesome couple and are so much fun! Love your Universal vlogs too, but this was really fun seeing you enjoy Animal Kingdom. Thanks!!!
So glad you enjoyed this one! And thank you!!
Everest, my first ever rollercoaster. Which I didn't do until this past year at the age of 37. Thrill rides since became my new favourite thing. Thanks for the upload!
Awh, we love that!! Everest is such a fun coaster! It’s not crazy thrilling, but it’s definitely not a kiddie coaster either lol
Every time u guys go to disney it warms my heart because i can tell u guys are more universal people then disney. You guys are so cute
It was so great meeting the two of you in AK. You were so nice to chat with us. Great job on his video. You're both adorable!!
It was so nice to meet you, too! And thank you! We hope you had as much fun as we did!
I never had any desire to go to Disney, but you two made Animal Kingdom look like a lot of fun, so I may have to try it on our next trip.
We loved Animal Kingdom!! We already can’t wait to go back and explore even more!
I love that you guys loved it! More Disney content Pugh Two!! :)
Working on it! Lol so glad you enjoyed this one!
My heart is full seeing your joy in experiencing one of my favorite parks. Thank you for bringing us along in your journey!
Awh, thank you, Nate! We really appreciate you watching!
Loved this video ❤ hope to see you guys do more Disney content!
Such a fun video!!!!! LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT WERE NOT GONNA MAKE IT!!! Hahah
Hahahah thank you! We’re so glad you enjoyed it!
Dinosaur is an AMAZING ride! I cried the first time I went on when I was really young because the T-Rex scared me and then when I went on it again as a teenager a few summers ago and I cried again because I was laughing so hard at my cousin who was pretending to be scared and freak out to the most exaggerated extend. Our ride picture from that ride is hysterical, that ride has given me one of my favorite memories ever!
That’s so funny! What a great memory! We need to go back there soon. That was so fun!!
It’s so fun to come with you guys and see you experiencing all these Disney firsts!
Thank you, Lindsy! We’re having so much fun!
I just love watching you guys! Thank you for the tips and inspiration. FYI your outfits are so cute with the animal print and hat. You guys are awesome!!!
You’re so sweet, thank you! We love that you’ve enjoyed our videos, and we really appreciate you watching them. You’re awesome!! Lol
We haven’t been back to Disney since May 2021. Seeing that Night Blossom drink got us talking about going back. That drink alone is worth it. Tusker House is also great for dinner and of course Expedition Everest.
😂😂 that drink was soooo good! lol We've heard great things about the Tusker house, too! We need to go!!
the energy of this park is amazing, miss it so much
Omg yes, it’s so good! We love AK!
Love all of your content. You are one of the best at keeping us up-to-date on Universal Studios. That being said, I love to see the way you both are experiencing Disney. Can't wait to see more videos and see Tyler's reaction to all the themes that Disney has.
Thank you, Paul! You’re so sweet! We can’t wait to check out Hollywood Studios, too. We’re loving Disney!
I am loving these Disney videos! Seeing y’all experience the parks for the first time is so fun. Also, y’all both dressed in Safari style outfits is adorable. Your dress is fabulous, Anna!
Thank you, Trish! You’re so sweet! We can’t wait to get to Hollywood Studios for the first time, either!
YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEOOOOOO!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
We hope you enjoyed it!!
If you enjoyed the safari ride, you'd love doing a staycation at Animal Kingdom Lodge in a savannah view room. There's nothing like sipping a cup of coffee in the morning on your room's patio and watching the animals. Even on my bed, I could see the zebras and giraffes. (and it's pronounced LOOM pee ah...a Phillipino food staple)
We need to do that! It’d be so fun!!
My favorite Disney park, Animal Kingdom It’s beautiful.
So beautiful!!
We'd love to see you do more disney! You both seem to enjoy it so much too!
Thank you!!
Avatar at night was my favorite part of the park with all the glowing lights. So unique and beautiful.
It’s such a cool area!! Especially at night!
AK is the best park that Disney has. Glad you had a great time. You made me miss that park. I love it there. So much to do there, make sure you do back time and time again.
We can’t wait to go back! We feel like we missed SO much. Especially with the shows! We’ll definitely be back soon!
Love seeing your first time reactions to Animal Kingdom
Hope to see you at Disney world when I come visit in November
Thank you, Yvette!! We’ll definitely be around, so keep an eye out for us!
Thanks again for recommendations. I stayed as late as i could. Pandora was unbelievable at night
As a Disney veteran, your discovery of how awesome these parks are, brings me so much joy!
Awh, thank you! You’re so sweet!
Loved this vlog 🎉
Thank you!!
another great vlog and loved the outfits. 🎉
Haha thank you!!
Dinoland is perfectly themed if you know the story that goes with the land. Basically, the researchers in the area uncovered dinosaur bones and it began to attract visitors, so the couple, Chester and Hester set up an impromptu carnival in the parking lot to take advantage of the visitors and draw more in. That's why there are games to win prizes and other "non-Disney" things in the area. You can even see parking lines on the asphalt in certain areas.
It so fun to watch y’all experience these for the first time.
Thank you, Tere! We appreciate you watching!
I love y’alls universal videos but watching the looks on y’all’s faces for these Disney vids is like a little magical. Thanks for the content!
Thank you so much!! We’re so glad you’re enjoying them. Thanks for watching!
You both are so genuine. What the world forgot how to be. Love you guys ! Don’t change a thing !
You’re so sweet, thank you!! We really appreciate you watching! 🫶🏻
My word it warms my heart to see yall having so much fun. My go tooz to eat at AK is the giant pretzel and the hamburger bao buns .
We almost got those bao buns, too! I was worried it wouldn’t be enough food though 😂
Love the music in the background. Enjoyable to see y’all take on Disney
Thank you! Tyler does such a good job with the music!
Such a great video, and so much fun seeing you both react to one of the most beautiful and creative parks in the world!
We totally agree! AK is amazing, we can’t wait to go back!
My mom has never watched Avatar but she gets legitimately teary eyed every time she rides flight of passage.
Awh, that’s amazing! It was so fun to finally experience for ourselves!
I absolutely love watching you guys explore Disney together. How sweet ❤
Thank you!! 😊 We’re super excited to go back soon!
Tyler: “when I saw it, I turned around cuz I didn’t want to experience it without you.”
I had to comment on this video just to tell Tyler how sweet that comment was! 🥺 you guys completely changed my mind on Animal Kingdom and I REALLY am excited to go now! Love you guys❤
Awh!! It’s been so long since we posted this one, I had to go back and watch that part. That was so sweet 🥹😭 we hope you enjoy Animal Kingdom!! We love that park!
Flight of Passage, one of my most favorite rides
It was so fun!!
It’s was fun to watch y’all’s first time at animal kingdom. Good to see a different perspective.
Thank you, Chris! We had so much fun!
Thanks for your long time Universal parks videos and newer videos of Disney properties. GO VOLS!!
GBO! We’re so glad you’re enjoying all of our videos!!
@@ThePughTwo yes we love them all! Thank you!!
Super fun video! Looking forward to that dinoland vid :)
Haha us, too!
So working nights so catching up on old videos (addicted to yalls videos) so impressed you guys reply to so many peoples comments. Outstanding guys. Yall are the genuine article 👏
We try to respond to all of them!! Lol
@@ThePughTwo thats a lot of time. But i applaud you for how involved yall are with people. Its awesome
Glad you guys finally made it to my park! I'm an attraction Mechanic at everest. Wish I knew you guys were there lol. Love your guys videos, keep it up ❤️
Oh that’s awesome! We loved Everest! That hill at the beginning is wild, though! 😂😂
Great to see! We love Satu'li Canteen.
It was so good! We were beyond impressed with the food!
Best time to ride the safari is after 5pm beforre the safari closes, Animals are out eating, lions are finally awake from sleeping all day and the sun is perfect.
That’s good to know!! Everyone told us early in the morning, but no one mentioned the afternoon!
Loves this video! I love the cream cheese and pineapple rolls, and I am craving one right now 😋
Thank you, Lourdes!! We’ve heard AK is known as a great snack park, so we’re excited to go back and snack our way around lol
I just went for the first time in December of 2022 and had the same reaction! It’s so magical 🤗
It is!! We loved AK for sure.
Keep it coming with disney parks!
We will! Lol so glad you’re enjoying them!
So glad you guys had a good time! My family is going in May, and we can't wait!
We hope y’all have as much fun as we did!!
Great video guys!! Love the relaxed format. Y’all eat more sweets in an afternoon than I can eat in a month lol😂
Haha we didn’t feel like that was a lot of sweets 😂🤣 I guess that says more about us lol we’re glad you enjoyed it!
Animal kingdom is my grandson’s favorite Disney park. It’s the only Disney park he wants to go to. Hope you had a blast! Thanks for the video.
It’s amazing! We can’t wait to go back and check out even more. We’re so glad you enjoyed it!!
I’d have to agree with your friend.. the drink from pongu pongu is amazingggg and I do think its more refreshing than butter beer on a hot day
Oh definitely more refreshing! It was delicious!
Excellent video!
Thank you!!
When Tyler said he wishes Dino land USA is nostalgic and should stay forever… hes in for a shock 😭
Have they announced its closing??? 😂😭
@@ThePughTwo yes, at D23 they announced plans to replace it with a Zootopia or Moana land 😭
@@babyyoda0692 NOOOOOOOOO
@@ThePughTwo I KNOW I’m so sad
I'm so happy you enjoyed Dinosaur! The last time I had some friends ride it with me they HATED it and thought I was crazy for loving it 😅
😂😂 all our friends think we’re crazy too. It’s so good!
This is one of my fave vlogs . I love how you’ve fell in love with Pandora…it’s really is beautiful the park in general is stunning 😍❤
Thank you so so much! It is absolutely gorgeous. The entire park is beautiful, but that area is insanely breathtaking!
Animal Kingdom is my favorite Disney World park! I love Pandora!! So beautiful!
Anna that dress is adorable on you!
It’s so fun!! And thank you, you’re too sweet!
I've been to AK so many times and I always call it a blah half day park, but watching y'all explore for the first time made me realize there's so much I haven't done in so long and I shouldn't take for granted how beautiful some parts of the park are.
Oh my gosh, we love that! We had so much fun at AK! We definitely agree that it has less attractions that some of the other parks, but it was still an awesome day! And we have so much left to do! Lol
Animal Kingdom is my fave of the four Disney parks! It’s just so awesome and a laid back, enjoyable vibe. And it’s gorgeous!!
We are headed to Orlando this coming May but we are skipping Disney and hitting Universal as we haven’t done the universal parks. Looking forward to it!
Animal kingdom is so much fun!! We hope y’all have a great time at Universal, too!!
i love Avatar and animals so this video was really enjoyable for me. loving the switch up of parks!
Haha we’re so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Anna, love the hats you’ve been wearing in the last couple of vlogs!!!
Thank you! You’re so sweet!!
Never been but i love that dinoland was amazing. Yes do an all day dino land!!!😂
We experienced our first time at Animal Kingdom just a few days before you! What a wonderful park! Pandora might just be my favorite themed land, it's simply amazing. I could go back here again and again. I look forward to watching your travels as I won't be able to be back anytime soon.
That’s amazing! We’re already planning a trip to go back and experience everything else there. It was so fun! We’re glad y’all had an awesome time on your trip, too!
I don't watch Disney vloggs often but I must support my fav vloggers. Love to see the 1st time reactions. Keep it up
Haha you’re so sweet, Ali! We really appreciate your support! We hope you enjoyed it, anyway!
I love seeing you guys try Animal Kingdom! It's my favorite Disney park!! 😍🥰 Pandora is so fun! There are so many delicious treats there!!! (Not sure if I could agree with the night blossom being on the same level as Butterbeer either 🤣🤔). Thank you for doing a video of your first time!!!
Thank you for watching them! We’re having so much fun exploring Disney!! We can’t wait to go back to AK and see even more!
Your love for dino land is cracking me up!!! 🤣😍
It was amazing. 10/10!
So glad got to experience this park! So love that park, loved walking it at night when I was a CM there. An think that park has the best quick service food areas in all of Disney.
The food was so good! We’ve been impressed with the food everywhere except MK 😂
@@ThePughTwo 😂 not wrong with MK. Not one bit. 😂
So cute!! I've never been to AK, honestly didn't even know about it until last year when I started learning about theme parks in depth. Now it's high on my list!
Oh my gosh, you should go! It was so much fun!!!
Watching y'all explore Disney makes me so happy! (PS, I'm the one that said hi as Anna climbed onto Kong and Kodo to ride solo at the Nov OI Meetup 😁)
Haha we remember that! That was a fun night 😂😂 we’re so glad you’re enjoying our Disney videos!
@@ThePughTwo if we ever get to go to Moonlight Magic (at any of the parks) without our kids, I am inviting you to join us. It might be a few years before we can shake them, but I mean it!
My fiancé and I love watching you guys!! We will be at Orlando informer this weekend and hope to meet you :) About Dino land- I think the theming and land in general has a cool back story!
Omg, there’s a backstory?? Please share! Lol
Can’t wait
We hope you enjoyed it!! Lol
Animal Kingdom has always been my favorite park, its so fun to see someone experience it for the first time. I'm glad you appreciated Dinosaur its my favorite ride, only second to Living with the Land ;)
Haha dinosaur was amazing! I don’t know how anyone could dislike it. It’s a treasure!
Amazing video you guys ( again) fyi Everest is approx 8,450 😂
😂🤣 so close! And thank you!
This video was AMAZING!! So much fun watching you both experience the wonder of Animal Kingdom for the first time. Please keep giving us more Disney content because it's so very special. And next time you go back to AK, you definitely need to see Festival of the Lion King. You will love it.
Yes! That was on our list, but we ran out of time. We’re so glad you enjoyed this video, and don’t worry! We’ll be continuing with the Disney content! Lol
Tyler and Anna, I am so glad to see yall at Disney parks. I knew yall would love Pandora. When we were at Animal Kingdom about 3 years ago, we rode Flight of Passage three times throughout the day.
That’s amazing! The line was crazy long all day, and it wasn’t even very busy. We were glad we got a LL!
@@ThePughTwo I know. The lines were long when we were there. One of our ride times we had the LL pass, but I am thinking we used it for two of our rides and the third, we waited in the standby. Which at that point wasn't long at all.
I’m a universal junkie but you’re making me interested in Disney now. Guys..what is going on!? Lol
Hahaha we’re loving it so much!!
I hope use had a great time at animal kingdom as me and ma boys live it so enjoy the rides Anna.and Tyler have a great experience and have some great food guys love your channel guys
We did! It was so much fun. We can’t wait to go back to AK! We’ve heard there’s even better food there that we missed! Lol
@@ThePughTwo fantastic guys glad use had a great time and yes more food for use to sample Anna and use won't want to go back to universal guys having ball I.e not universal is your number 1 guys and rightly so great video guys as always until the next be safe and enjoy use 2
Love these videos! Seeing your reactions to WDW parks and rides for the first time is priceless! Just curious what is your favorite WDW park so far??
You’re so sweet!! I think our favorite right now is Epcot. Guardians is hard to beat!!
I recommend getting snacks and cocktails at Nomads Lounge next door to Tiffins on the outskirts of Pandora
That's good to know, thank you for the suggestion!
Such a fun video (as always). You definitely need to eat at Yak and Yeti next time. And do the Kali River Rapids ride (I know you love water rides lol)
We’ve heard such good things about yak and yeti! We’ll definitely be eating there on our next trip!
Animal Kingdom was built after I went to Disney as a kid, so I haven't had a chance to experience it, but I want to! It's so beautiful!
This is my first time (Anna) experiencing it since I was a teenager, and it’s so much fun! So many things have changed!!
I cant wait to see you two on rise
We can’t wait either! It’s gonna be so fun!!
